I installed nvidia-glx 1.0.8756-3 and xserver-xorg-video-nv 1:1.0.1.5-2 
and have had no problems with a dual-head display with xorg 7.0. Below 
is a record of my upgrade, using the official Debian repositories. I did 
not have to rebuild the nvidia kernel module. Like others, I have 
residual keyboard issues because of xbase-libs not yet being upgraded; I 
worked around it by creating symlinks to startx and xauth, which were no 
longer on the path.
